How to Sign a Vehicle Title in New Jersey: Step-by-Step Guide
Before filling out any information on the title, carefully read these instructions, locate all the appropriate lines, and review any instructions on the title.
Turn to the back of your New Jersey car title and look near the top. There is a small blank line where you can write in the vehicle's current mileage.
Look for a small colored rectangle that says "Buyer's name." Right next to it is a line where the buyer can print their name. Next to that is a line where the buyer should fill in their driver's license number.
Where it says "Buyer's address," write the street address on the top line and the city, state and zip code on the bottom line.
If a second person will own the vehicle, they should fill in their name and address near the colored rectangle that says "Co-buyer's name." They should also write down their driver's license number on the line to the right of the page.
Look for the colored rectangle that says "Seller's name." The seller should print their name on the first line, and write in their address on the following two lines.
To the right of these lines, the seller should write in the following information on the appropriate lines: Date the vehicle was sold and sale price.
By the colored rectangle that says "Seller sign here," the person selling the car should print their name. On the line under that they should sign their name.
If a second person is releasing their ownership interest in the vehicle, they can print and sign their name on a set of lines to the right.
By the colored rectangle that says "Buyer sign here," the buyer should print their name on the first line and sign their name on the second line. If there is a second person purchasing the car, they can print and sign their name on a set of lines to the right.
A YouTube user filmed a video that demonstrates how to fill out a New Jersey title. It may be worth watching if you need a quick tutorial; however, make sure the title shown in the video has all the same lines as yours so you aren't putting information in the wrong place.
